Boobs Bigger Since Surgery?

I was sleeved last August and have since lost about 90 pounds. Ive gone from a size 24 to a 12. But I seem to have GONE UP in cup size! Does this make any sense? Is it because my boobs are saggier? I'm so confused and having so much trouble finding a decent bra.

I used to be a 42 D.

I recently got fit for the same Soma bra I currently own (which is stretched out). The woman measured me as a 38 B. But then I tried on the B, C, D, and finally the 38DD and I felt like I was still spilling out of it.

Since then, I have tried on 38 and 40 D's and DD's and I can't find a single bra where I'm not spilling over the cups and getting that 4 boob look-even with full coverage cups.

I'm getting super frustrated, because I was not expecting this. How can my cup size have gone up after losing 90s pounds?

Anyone? Help.

    Hooray for bigger boobs!

  • Smaller band (torso) will increase cup size. Cup size (the letter) is the difference between the band and the fullest part of the breast.

  • Don't worry, your boobs aren't getting bigger. I am a 34DDD which is the same thing as a 36DD and a 38D in the actual cup sizes. I was a 36DDD when I was at my largest and I dropped to a 34DDD after

Please do not go to Victoria Secret to be measured. I have known a number of people that got measured as VS but when they went to a good boutique they realized how bad the fit from VS was. If you can find a local boutique got there, if no Nordstroms.

Completely agree regarding Victoria Secret bras. I am not fond of their underwear in general, but I also had the experience of having a fitting with them that later turned out to be completely wrong.

I won't mind going down as far as a B cup. So far I've gone from a 46DD to a 44C. I'd rather they shrink than sag.
